Small Baltic purse

Baltic folk textiles often feature small purses adorned with traditional patterns symbolizing the cyclic movement of time.

These designs, deeply rooted in Baltic culture, frequently incorporate geometric motifs such as spirals and circles, representing the endless flow and renewal inherent in nature and human life. Such symbolism reflects the Baltic peoples' profound connection to natural cycles and their understanding of time as a continuous loop rather than a linear progression. These purses, beyond their practical use, serve as cultural artifacts, embodying the rich heritage and philosophical perspectives of the Baltic region.
